The first investigation began in 2017 over allegations of embezzlement of public funds and favoritism for a 2024 Olympics contract. The second investigation was launched a year ago with contracts involving the Games and the company responsible for the construction of sites for the Games being looked into.

Former NFL player Lorenzo Alexander did not hold back his feelings about what it was like to play on the controversial turf fields during his playing days.
